I have a 64 CSS with the push button automatic transmisision. Bought new in LA. According to Ben ( the CSS site guy and
all around nice guy), mine might be one of the earliest built trucks, possibly even the "Palomino" that was test marketed prior to production. There was an article in a magazine back in 64 where they refered to the truck as the Palomino.
Mine is unusual in that it does not have the side moulding that most 64 CSS trucks have.
Mine also has frame reinforcements called out on the SERT sticker, which are basically steel channel reinforcement welded the bottom of the frame rails between the front and rear suspension points, and a unique engine crossmember. These were factory modifications.
I almost bought a real 426 HPP about 7 years ago. It seemed a bit pricey at the time but I should have bought it.

There are two of the HPP trucks in my town.. Very rare truck from my understanding.. I believe they are the only sweptlines with a factory tach.. 
Not true. They are the only ones with a 6,000rpm tach. Any truck could be ordered with a tachometer.
Cool... I'm no expert on them for sure....

My uncle Chris has a 64 HPP 426 wedge truck. Very rare, he bought it from original owner. Chris's dad actually checked the truck in new at the local dealership he worked at. Have a picture of it and Chris is standing next to the trailer. The truck is almost done, His is numbers matching except for the rear center chunk. I built the 426, the 727, and helped on the chassis. Cab is on it, box is close, fenders done, hood done, engine and trans in frame, cab on frame. His is a rarer custom cab, his is black and white. Top of cab is white. Ill try to round up pictures. From what Ben told us there is only 12 or so of these around.
